Answer:
[tex]12\frac{1}{6}[/tex] cups of punch
Step-by-step explanation:
Peter is making a punch. He mixes :
Orange juice = [tex]4\frac{1}{2}[/tex] cups
Ginger ale = [tex]1\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Strawberry lemonade = [tex]6\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Now we will add all the mixes
[tex]4\frac{1}{2}[/tex] + [tex]1\frac{1}{3}[/tex] + [tex]6\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Now first we convert all the mixed fractions to improper.
[tex]\frac{9}{2}+ \frac{4}{3}+ \frac{19}{3}[/tex]
Now take LCM of 2,3,3 = 6
= [tex]\frac{27+8+38}{6}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{73}{6}[/tex] = [tex]12\frac{1}{6}[/tex]
The total number of cups of puch that peter makes is [tex]12\frac{1}{6}[/tex]
